The foundational course will begin with an overview of our healthcare system and its comparison to other countries. Delivery systems and ethical decision-making will be examined in terms of population health, needs assessment, access, quality and cost. It will examine general healthcare terminology in relation to current systems and explore issues affecting the delivery of health care.
The roles of various members of the health care system will be examined regarding education requirements, health care settings, health promotion philosophy and scope of practice in regards to inter-professional practice.
